cat and fireworks

Every year as December 31st approaches, voices of people aware of the damage caused by fireworks rise, calling for the suppression of the traditional New Year's Eve fireworks. Along with these reasonable voices, as generally tends to happen, a chorus of unreasonable voices rises too. These voices are those of people who, in the name of a tradition that is completely human and without any real necessity, continue to promote the use of a whole series of devices that create as much fun for Man as destruction for the rest of the environment.
